If you are in a relationship, how did you and your significant other meet? I always think it's fun to hear other people's stories! (hehe, I am watching "Perfect Proposal" on TLC right now, maybe that's what inspired this thread!)
Well for us, the short version of the story is that I was working for my husband's mom on a summer internship and she set us up! If you care to read the long version of the story, though, here it is:
During the summer between finishing my undergraduate degree and starting graduate school, I was at a summer internship. It was my second summer at the same job, working for the same woman. I didn't meet my husband during the first summer because he was away at school, but during my first week of the second summer his mom introduced us and he asked me on a date 3 days later!
The funny part is that my husband had also just graduated and was only planning on being home for 2 weeks then was going to move to another city to find a job. So I was just planning on going on a few dates with him for fun and wasn't expecting it to lead to anything. But for some reason he never left
and after a month of dating, he said he wanted to move the city where I was going to start grad school in August! That surprised me because I didn't realize that he was that serious about me! So about we spent the rest of the summer together then we both moved to the new city -- and he was fortunate enough to find an apartment (even though it's a huge college town and most of the apartments were already taken by students that late in the summer) and even found a job after only 2 weeks! Maybe that was just another sign that it was meant to be!
(Actually there were a lot more "coincidences" involved in our first meeting which I won't go in to -- basically by the time we met, we had both reached points in our lives where we were confident with ourselves and were mature enough to consider marriage! I am actually glad we didn't meet during my first summer internship just because of where I was in my life then!)
4 months to day of our first date he proposed, and we got married 9 months later!
